Shown below is the newsletter for Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church. It will tell you about the events happening at our church during July. First off there is the annual Fourth of July parade, hosted by the Lion’s Club of Barkhamsted. This parade has been going strong since at least 1951 (ask one of the original marchers about it!) and our church has had a presence in most all of them. The parade will begin at 10:30 am on July 4th and will march from the Senior & Community Center on West River Road to the Barkhamsted School. Viewing is along the parade route as the road will be closed to traffic during that time.

Another item to put on your summer calendar to remember is Sunday, August 10th when the service will be held outdoors in and around the Memorial Garden. It will be especially fun as Pastor Barbara will be blessing our animal friends! We’ll say more about this next month, but keep us in mind as the summer goes along.

Of course, our regular worship service is at 10:00 am each Sunday and everyone is welcome to join us.

The July calendar for the Community Food Bank is shown below. Please note that during the summer months the food bank will be open on alternate Wednesdays from 4-6pm. Our hope is the garden on the side lawn of the church will have some fresh produce to bring to the food bank! Should you have any questions or concerns, please use the contact information listed below the calendar.

Shown below is the June edition of our church newsletter, The Link. You’re invited to read it over to see what’s happening in our little church by the river…and come and join us for worship services or any events. As we move into the summer months, we encourage you to join with us to worship the Creator of the beauty around us.

The June calendar for the Community Food Bank, housed at the Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church, is shown below. For additional information or to make a donation, please see the contact information listed below the calendar.

Day three…the tomb is empty! Hallelujah!! Christ the Lord is Risen today! Praise God! Be joyful and sing praises to the Lord for this miracle! The Easter service this morning is at 10am, followed by a time of visiting at coffee hour. Everyone is welcome to come share this important time with us! May your Easter Sunday be truly blessed!

Our church will celebrate Palm Sunday on April 13th at our regular worship time of 10:00 am. Palms will be distributed by the children before they head off to Sunday School. Everyone is welcome to worship with us and begin the journey into Easter Week.

Our church newsletter, The Link, is now shown below. Of particular importance to note this month are the worship opportunities for Easter Week. Everyone is welcome to come worship with us as we are refreshed by God’s eternal promise and by the sacrifice of His son, Jesus. As we march into spring, keep your eyes, ears, and hearts open to the gifts that God has provided all around us!
